I agree. I posted these pics in his thread a couple of weeks ago. They look even better in person. Awesome work. Can't wait to send him some more. Thanks again Chris.

i really like thee frames .....pissed i didnt get in on this one .

hope he uses the same frames on the next frame special

These frames are very cool, had a few posters done by the Hoff. Look so much more better in person. I hope he runs another special using these frames as I have a few more posters I would like to get done and should be able to afford now that Xmas is over. I find the pics with the black frames don't do them any justice unless you see them up close

Kickass poster but you may wanna think about dry mounting that sucker.

:shock: ... As all the old poster heads read this and collectively made the same face I do while watching Jackass....OOoo(sucking air between teeth), um yeah.. No. That's just sacriledge. Do you ever watch Antiques Roadshow? Shutup those that are snickering, lol. You ever see a beautifull old antique desk, say where some1 has sanded it down to put a "nice, New" finish on it? That's when they're like... "Well this would of put your grandkids thru college,... If you had'nt taken a sander to it"! Never Drymount any valuable poster/print! Beware..a lot of generic framing places will recommend this because they don't know anything about Gig poster art. Its cool if you bought a $10.00 poster from wall-mart not so much when its a rare 15+yr old signed/#'d piece of art. It may have a utilitarian purpose but you could argue.. so does throwing a poster on the wall with thumbtacks and tape. Technically it would hold the poster while also destroying quite a bit of the value. Matting would have a similiar effect as drymounting without damaging it. If you wanted, you should be able to pull the poster out just as it went in. Allthough I've never tryed it, I've heard you can also have posters/prints pressed to flatten them. Props!, that's a nice old school poster.. I love his older NIN posters as well. At some point I'll have to take some pics of a few things to show you guys. Everything I've seen on here recently has looked really good. Its cool getting to see peoples choices of framing and matting and how it changes the overall apearence. Hope everybody is enjoying their weekends and looking forward to tommorrows announcement...

some handbills held in place with those clear photo corner things ... the windows them selves came from a 150-175 year old mansion in southampon

Jason, I think you and I are the only 2 people on the planet that have used this neon green metallic frame

I have a Tool poster from 2007 that I used this frame on, it makes the print look awesome... but the frame itself is such a joke...

looks good though, nice choice... here's a pic of the tool poster on my facebook... I think you should be able to look at it, I don't think I have privacy turned way up on this one...

Had to switch glass both 05 gorge and 06 faded arou d the corners make sure u use uv protected glass. Hope my others wont fade. Any other suggestions. I read the silk screen colors are more likely to fade in the light then regular pictures. Sucks that the area the matt covered are differetn colored. Could it be th matt. Just curiuos what others use to frame and protect there posters
